Busy Bee

Malcolm's got himself a new girlfriend.

This is one reason why I haven't been posting. That would be my new kitty, Natalie. Now, if I can bother myself to get up and get my phone, I'll have some better pictures of this beautiful little girl to show you all.

Let me backtrack a bit. First, I got a job. That's the other reason why I haven't been posting, and it also happens to be related to the first reason. I work at a pet store, and we have space for rescues to come and put their cats up for adoption. You can guess what happened from there. It took me one week to go from, "So cute, but we shouldn't," to, "Boyfriend, come down here and look at the kitties. I want one." And he did, and even though he walked in determined to say no, he couldn't say no to this:

Seriously, how cute are these two together?!

It was love at first sight for us, and practically the same for them-- as much as it can be with cats, anyways. They were playing together by the end of the day, and in the world of cats, that's just as good. Malcolm no longer wails in the morning. Felix couldn't care less, as long as Natalie keeps a respectful distance. Laying within close proximity is fine too.

Laying within extra-close proximity is also fine with Malcolm.

So, that's what's been going on in the past month. Maybe when I have some time tomorrow, I'll put together a video and have something else to post.

I live with eleven other cats... yeah, there are TWELVE of us! Anywho... some of us get along with each other better than others. The peeps just love seeing us develop relationships with one another and whatnot. Makes 'em happy. Gotta keep your peeps happy... if you know what I mean.

Meet the Kitties

Welcome to the adventures of three kitties and their two-legged friends. Meet Malcolm, Felix, and Natalie!

Malcolm"oh my god you guys. this catnip. i *am* the floor."Orange tabby, male.Born in 2009.

We got him in September 2009 from a couple who had found a litter of young kittens with the mother MIA. They figured out she had been hit by a car, and took them in.

He's sweet, playful, but maybe not the brightest crayon in the box. Sometimes he needs his space, but mostly he likes to cuddle in the arms of his humans and pretend he's a kitten again. You can usually find him perched on his cat tree, or making trouble with Natalie.

Felix"No. It is NOT time for pets right now, thankyouverymuch."Tuxedo, male.Born in 2005.

Mr. Blogger got Felix when he was a young man and looking for a cat of his own. They've been best friends ever since.

Felix has a mind of his own. He'll allow you to pet him in the way he permits, for however long he permits. He knows what he wants, and if that's laying on the couch without being bothered he'll be glad to let you know. And if he can't be bothered to deal with any of our petty nonsense, he'll let that be known as well.

In the same stroke, if he decides it's cuddle time, it's cuddle time. If it's 3 in the morning and cuddle time happens to be on your face, he's going to have cuddle time on your face at 3 in the morning. Because he's Felix. You can't say no to Felix.

Little Miss Natalie conned her way into our lives with her cute little face shortly after I started my job. There she was from the local rescue, and we couldn't say no.

She's flounced and sauntered her way into everyone else's hearts as well. Whether it's convincing Felix to do something she wants to do instead, or stretching out on a nice comfortable bed made of Malcolm, she's a little princess and everyone knows it.
